The NFLs current Collective Bargaining Agreement expires Thursday and it seems like the players and owners are miles apart. Senator Jay Rockefeller who doesn't have a part in the negotiations has asked owners to show their books which the owners have refused to do. I don't understand how the owners feel they could get a deal done without being open and honest. Everybody knows what the players make, now it's time to see the owners' profits. Many owners claim they are losing money, if they truly are, then they have nothing to lose by showing this to the players' union. In my opinion the biggest key to the CBA negotiation is knowing the profits of the NFL and until this is known I feel as if this process will be dragged out for a long time.
